August 16, 2007: GenCon Has Begun

As I write this, we've finished setting up the Adventure Retail booth here at GenCon. After turning twelve pallets of boxes into 800 square feet of gaming powerhouse -- including a couple cases of GURPS Martial Arts, I might add -- I'm pooped. Jerry and his crew are used to this sort of "throwing boxes while keeping everything organized and in harmony with the big picture" sort of activity, but I'm largely a desk jockey these days.

Walking back to the hotel, we saw the earliest stages of the mighty GenCon stirring to life. The lines for the badges had started. Gamers are filling the streets.

And it looks like Wizards of the Coast is announcingD&D Fourth Edition tomorrow as well. It's going to be an interesting convention . . .
